undisclosed illness the government is trying to remain focused on winning support for the constitutional changes in the referendum on sunday to those administrations says the draft gives the office of the prime minister and parliament more power it also addresses demands of the herat protest movement that in april 2019 forced them president abdullah is a beautifully cut to step down but opposition parties disagree here's what both sides happened say. re chose the 1st of november for the referendum on this constitution which is considered another occasion for the people to come together with all their sex and orientations and to draw a new milestone to build our future a democratic and modern state based on a power sharing scheme where we. now shut down the shabby mccance it is not the people there is no will of the people in this constitution there are lobbies that

have means that are protected they have money the media and many relations it is them that this constitution benefits and i like. the more we are joined from glasgow scotland by is a lab a dean believe he is an independent analyst and scholar but he robot is an algerian at rest and political analyst he is in new york city and yes we have a loose is an algerian research a journalist an allergist he specializes in the grab she joins us from london the yes meeting you start for us this idea that the amendment to the constitution is giving protesters in algeria what they want it they have been protesting for 18 now what are you hearing what are you seeing. so if we looking at. the pictures right back up that that regime has a touch of these constitutional amendments it's something that merits several

occasions and it's history but what that issue is that a lot of hopes of paris by these the constitutional trusts wish were done you know in 3 months and you can bet that example to his ear and its own costs for constitutional amendments except for yes so these are done you know quite swiftly and a space to the presidential and she's the heroics to months if the main issue really is disparities between which is sad and what's written paper and the lack of internet taishan which is what's been marion's a number of times in our series history so you know there's that said you know talk of a separation of powers that's you know set in issues in consenting to books the president ahead of the government the parliament that huge issue in the fight against corruption which is so great but the issues really are the climate in which these these minutes taking place so for example if you look at the referendum campaigning

which began early at this month and there hasn't been you know much scope for kinds to take up public spaces or me just let's talk about what the reason why don't the folks you know there is those who are very much for the process have been able to you know say no speech to the public and if you look at this made by the minnesota youth unspoiled last week and which is children cheering to unhappy with the prices that they should change countries then it kind of doesn't if i look at the process and the top and you know what your and your public and the built in the foundations of a mountain state holds that the surface of this event and it doesn't really important there are those aspects of the constitution basically ensuring yes when i am looking at this headline here from middle east i algeria meant. tells people to leave if they disagree with the constitutional amendments saying what do you make of the claim by the current administration in algeria this is going to be

a new republic come sunday the constitutional amendment this is going to be a new republic. i mean it has been a return to rhetorical by the president and his administration since his the inauguration in 2009 some but in december 2009. he is basically listening to the people he is. implementing the demands of the people and of the hierarchy of the process movement but for me personally when they look at the the constitutional amendment and this whole process i think they've got to remark basically on the process and on the content basically 1st of all that it's a disappointing process because in the midst of a stand then maybe there was no serious dialogue there were a lot of progressive policies there was on the at the start of consultations with civil society actors for a conflict of actors as well so for me when you imprison journalists and the

imprisoned pollak activists when you're forbidden everybody from sharing their views whether on social media or on the national t.v. there is really no will no no and no real process of consultation. for the system after being in the constitutional or dishonesty it's now trying and moving towards quiet on the new legal framework for the new civilian facade represented by suborned this process is just meant to legitimize the current situation for create a stable only to move forward with this not to just this is a local election when it comes to the continent it's not very different from the 2016 constitution perhaps only with the exception of sending troops abroad limits in terms for m.p.'s transforming the constitutional council to a constitutional course perhaps also some purgatives for the head of government only if appointed by the parliaments for me i could only say that this is not the

constitution for the next decade as promised by the president and his administration and finally i think i'll address problem was never really the constitute. in itself it was the implementation of the constitution. but not implemented there is no real democratic change under. the constitution or good constitution that they were implemented. during the country and no rules and no regulations basically that are implemented so for me no i don't see the point of all this. work rorik celebration of the constitution for him i want to play you protesters who are protesting on a law famous day historic day for algeria and that was on top of the faith which is the anniversary of the pink in 1988 democracy protests there is a whole history of protesting in algeria this is what they were saying on that day thinking ahead to the idea of tweaking amending the constitution as have

a listen. you don't recognize this system in power and this constitution if passed will plunge us into the abyss just as the processes of those in power plunged us into the abyss we do not recognize them. i swear that whatever they do we will not stop until we achieve independence and i swear that we will continue to fight until this regime falls and this country achieved independence how do you have a. dramatic day family instead but does that represent how the country is feeling right now ahead of the referendum. absolutely i think any any assessment of the of the proposed constitution has to be sort of judged against the backdrop of the popular demands and aspirations as you know as you said for 18 months millions of people have been on the streets week in and week out. in you know various demands but the 4 central demand that they've been making

is an immediate and to to military rule and the establishment of civilian democratic. rule the 2nd the 2nd demand is. is the socio economic justice expressed through such slogans as you have devoured the country you kleptocrats. you know basically. challenge in the the only god kick takeover and control of the algerian economy and demand in a more equitable. distribution of wealth and the people want independence as the clip you just you've just shown people feel fear and their colonial rule. so these are the these are the main grievances and the main demands of the main

aspirations of the algerian people and you know slogans such as this is our country and our will shall reign supreme is a deeply democratic. demand that is not going to be to be sort of allied by political. theater so if we look. if taken all together these slogans and these demands are in fact one could write the constitution from these demands you know what hope does that the whole point of the protests in the fast for us because. the debt that iraq this month was we want a hollow new political infrastructure. you know what i meant you want to hone your political infrastructure so you say that the protests against that should be that they were shifting like in the constitution absolutely absolutely and if you look

closely at it on the other hand the proposed constitution that's on the table by the military or league arche represented by mr to boone not only is diametrically opposed to the people the demand both in form and in content inform. your guest just said that it has been no people have been excluded from the process from any form of their participation and then in terms of content it in fact not only ignores the demands and the aspirations of people but in fact and their minds that. the 4 key. the 4 key areas. that the new constitution intervenes in that is and a 3rd of the concentration of powers in the hands of the hands of the executive that is a consecration of the principle of of the. impunity for state for

state officials and to most. dangerous if you like but also most most the most contested aspects of the constitution lazy of the military as a rule. in political life and the place and of the algerian military and the service of new york colonial powers that. you know that are involved in new scramble africa asked me that same so what i'm hearing is that what this referendum is doing is the complete opposite of what the president says it is designed to do so there is a big push back here also on you tube a lot of conversations i'm. going to throw some of the thoughts to you from my youth audience yes maybe you start 1st i want a brief answer coming back i'm going to share all of the comments with one of the gas 0 he says i highly doubt the new constitution will bring any meaningful

progress and development yasmeen that briefly respond to. so the issue that i look like was never to insert is that there are causes you should have seen it is has many principles which is great you know the ensuring the people's rights and you know space to enshrine democracy of argyria however the main issue is it is innocent imitation. there can be a lot of to get around what good so does referendum what kind of argyria will develop you know very sundays but the reality the reality really is that analysts look at the constitution it is not implemented and reconsider algeria cannot change let me put this to use a rubber band thank you very much for your comment on you met ben says the same system is ruining the country are many people have changed it's a big mess in the country where men put other men in jail in order to draw say

brief response to my back. for looking at what happened in ontario in the over the past 2 years almost 2 years since the beginning of the part of the movement. certain circles within the system used to heroic to 'd the point this movement to throw other socal in jail and this was expected this has been the peace in all of julio during every single record of all in 1908 in 1965 even in 1979 up to. so for me what happened is the end of it's a bowl outcome of one thing the end they built the product the movement to organize itself into a prison through a lot of grocery of the system and i could finish with one thought is the algerians like myself or all the prophets. we expect of the system to look at to listen to us

we expect to actually implement our demands except that the system is in its historical role to rule and to protect its interests the only party or the on the side who actually implemented what we demanded is us fortunately without being enable and i'm sorry for my particulars we have been unable to organize ourselves and to represent them on hunt right one more brain i'm going to put this to you this is from civic serape says there's so much cynicism in egypt right now also. there is no real change the will of the people is still not present just the ruling elite wears a new saad ibrahim bracelet. i think i think again once again the similac or similac up political similac and theater of the military all the govt he has been engaged in for the last few decades is not what

it can anymore with this generation of algerians the central question remains one of political legitimacy. and you know unless unless this this is dealt with appropriately and genuinely the the the movement is not that is not going away so the to continue the current the. sort of the establishment lacking any political legitimacy popular legitimacy has sought to compensate for it by seeking international legitimacy. and that has cost it in the past to denationalize. the country's resources it has cost it to denationalize the economy and now they are about to denationalize the algerian military itself so and so today algeria instead of playing its you know or sort of fit in its potential in its

mission of be in an important actor in africa to bring together solid continental solidarity and integrity it is about to become a stick in the hands of colonial power us with which to oppress and dispossess other africans and this is an acceptable from the perspective of the russian majority of. first of all and the. even more of what is even more humiliating is that the trouble is the symbolism in the choice of the 1st of november which is the $66.00 and the versity of the algerian. start of the algerian war for liberation that is that is almost they are trying to and they're mine the foundational myth of the algerian nation and on that on that day to turn it into a new colony not a new would have probably sick yes it comes up so crazy that even what seems the

simplest question to ask you has a complex answer each of us $97.00. much i want to bring us maybe away from the constitution just a little bit to what is happening in algeria to everyday people in the last 18 months or so look at this headline here from human rights watch algeria post election repression perhaps one symbol of that repression is what has happened to a journalist who had been covering the protests and he was jailed his name is toilet to me and he was handed a jail sentence we have a little comment here from his lawyer who puts the jail sentence in the context of the upcoming referendum and puts those 2 issues together let's have a listen. this is

a shocking decision that was not expected this establishes a state that doesn't respect the law doesn't respect the press and doesn't respect basic freedoms how can they promote a new constitution while trampling on the freedoms guaranteed in the same constitution. yasmin to your journalist. how does this story resonate with you and i would it means to be now geria right now to to live through this moment. it's it's incredibly ansatz think because of his many look at the nature of the country and the potential it has it's really strange disappointing to see how so many algerian so choosing to actually leave the country or to seek better prospects and serve because they know that their future in the country is no limits there is and must stay plugged she choose for that moment was it an education and good that again as is said you know the leaders

see here who are supposed to be for the people they're supposed to be using the people states actually developed a sense and those who are posting you know the type of direction they would like a journey to go and serve their craft in the big scene of the to welner has been one of the worst in nigeria's recent history and that you know that does these questions exactly what direction the country is going in in the back of the question economy and civil strife threatening sick night so the situation at moment is extremely tense and it doesn't and aid a situation that's instead of honoring that against the people or in honoring the demands of the constitution for example an article 7 eighth's which huge chunks of sovereignty of the people instead silencing forces of the population and see no child there in the setting and their own interests in their own and longevity. ben soft on the chief says transparency in free press is needed in algeria so many good

comments and questions coming from each of us i really prefer this i'm going to he's one more from really am says what does the opinion polls suggest regarding the referendum will algerian support it they didn't come out in big numbers for the presidential election what did he still might happen on sunday. i think we're starts in from wrong assumption that the poll actually matter. like. the what we've seen throughout the entire all the jury and point temporary histories that polls actually don't matter what matters is the. plan the systems that he thought should be put forward of this constitution if the system plan was not to endorse this constitution or was not passed the deal without a council the constitutional referendum specially with insurance and then mix of wishing the same i'm going to share this question with you all serene our panel says very briefly what do you think might happen on sunday. what do you think i've

been. saying you don't need to finish my sentence but you do have to finish this and it's ok. so basically what i think will happen this will like it would probably be a likely cause good way to. make certain assumptions. let's see what assumptions he's going to make that it might pass but it not not because the people voted for it but the because you know constitutions and elections irrespective of what the people think moving ahead i think this is. the sort of this is what needs to be kept in mind the question the crisis of legitimacy the would do would be easy in algeria and military or league archytas suffering from cannot possibly be solved through theatrical and and

you know stage to stage the simulacrum. you know. with the with with the drop in oil prices which are which out of the the main source of foreign currency. hate accounts happy and string finish a sentence and then pass on to yes i mean all i'm saying that the country as it is right now is headed towards the day it had been with the you know full speed head 1st towards bankruptcy they may they may they may resort to form bought a win by yes and you know it's now going to pick up with chang much brain are. going to expect some people some people many of course for what you call it's. 3 descendants and this. changes. i am going to ask forgiveness from save them for he when you have gina i knew we had talked about how do you know you know we can't
